dovecot - Jul 2013 - Right way to share some global mailboxes

Hello,

i'm using Dovecot since a long time but now I need to share folders for
global mail adresses like info@ and support@ between all users.

What is the right way to share this mailboxes between many users (everyone
with own read flag).

My config for location is:
mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n:INDEX=/home/vmail-indexes/%d/%n

And now i have a folder like /home/vmail/bar.com/foo for sharing...


Thanks!

"Public" or "Shared" namespaces with "Private
Indexes"
(INDEXPVT=... in Dovecot 2.2) should be the way to go, see:
